Martin-Logan Vistas. And while flat-panel electrostatics can be
considered bi-polar, M-Ls are not. The curved screen focuses the back
wave in on itself so the bi-polar effect is largely lost. Even so, I
was a Magnaplanar enthusiasts for many years (still am, actually, but
I think electrostatics are just better) and though they are true
bipolar speakers they do not do what Bose 901s do (thankfully).
Everybody has different tastes. I'm not trying to impugn yours, just
demonstrate how mine differs.

I'm sure you meant dipolar, not bipolar. And as a matter of fact, I do NOT
believe that our tastes differ, just that you have not heard my system yet.
I know it is pointless to say that without the pudding of proof, but if you
ever get to Florida....

It's funny how susceptible they are to the room acoustics and speaker
positioning, which is one of the ways I was able to discover some of the
principles in my IMT - because slight changes in these factors can make huge
differences in the sound, and when it locks in the rewards are worth it and
very illustrative.
